Abdul Kalam was an ordinary scientist: A Q Khan

this was really low of Dr. A Q Khan , one can't degrade a Deceased person like that

irrespective of whatever A Q KHAN thinks of Late APJ Abdul Kalam , doesn't really makes any difference , whats more important is that the world respects Late Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam & that's what matters
 
Yes he was an "ordinary" man and may be an "ordinary" scientist as he didnt have fancy figures in off shore accounts by selling of his country secrets.

Yes he was an "ordinary" man because he was approachable by other "ordinary" man.

Yes he was an "ordinary" man because he could feel and understand the hardship faced by other "ordinary" man.

Yes he was an "ordinary" man as he wanted to teach students and not sell off secrets.

Yes he was an "ordinary" man because he died while doing his job which was his passion too and not in some luxurious villa or 5 * hospital.

And this "ordinary" man got the salute from President of 120cr+ people when he departed.
 
AQ Khan is an egotist. When he dies, I doubt any of his peers would mourn his death.
AQ Khan: the truth finally prevails - The Express Tribune

I don't care if he is an egotist, nobody is perfect - but the fact is the guy who claims to be a physicist does not even know the first law of thermodynamics and wants to give a certificate to who is a scientist or not - he doesn't know science so who is he to give certificate. I may as well start giving certificates for best throat singer.
 
I think there is a lot of difference between an ordinary scientist who taught crores of Indian Kids for dream about a developed India and a stupid scientist who recklessly stole nuke blue prints ,proliferate to other nations .

AQ Khan dont know anything about the great administrator and management expert APJ Abdul Kalam.
 
One died while indulging in his passion of engaging with and encouraging his country's youth while the other lives for public attention and acknowledgement. Whose example would you want your kids to emulate?
 
While it is expected that most Pakistani members posting here are disagreeing with A.Q.Khan's inaccurate and inept statement about Dr.Kalam, I wonder if A.Q.Khan's standing in Pakistan has been a politically manufactured one.

I have heard quite a few Pakistanis opine that the rest of the world maligns A.Q.Khan because he caused nuclear proliferation to Libya and N.Korea and was in the process additional such crimes when he was caught; Other Pakistanis have a soft corner for him because they think that he was made to fall on the sword and take one for his country when he was 'punished' for the smuggling operation.

Reality is this: No real scientist or even non-scientists who read English, credit A.Q.Khan with any scientific accomplishment. He was caught stealing designs from his employer in Norway and this is what he brought to Pakistan. Pakistanis ofcourse owe him a lot of gratitude for this, so by all means, award him a medal for patriotic stealing and smuggling but as a scientist he is a dismal failure.

Khan's Dangerous Game - TIME

Now this crook commenting on Dr.Kalam is even lower than a mongrel dog barking at the moon. And he is doing it when the world is morning the passing away simply shows and corroborates what a rabid base immoral incompetent inept imbecile A.Q.Khan is. Such an imbecile is especially not qualified to pass any judgment on others.

NEW DELHI: The death of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam led to an outpouring of grief across the country with tributes flowing in from across all quarters.

However, there was one person who didn't think much of the former President's accomplishments as a scientist.

Pakistan nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan in an interview to BBC said Abdul Kalam was an ordinary scientist.

A Q Khan, considered the father of Pakistan's nuclear programme said, "Kalam used to prefer simplicity in all walks of life but he was an ordinary scientist."

In a phone interview to BBC, Khan said he could not remember anything noteworthy that Kalam had achieved. He claimed India's missile programme was developed with Russia's help.

The Pakistani scientist also claimed that there was politics involved in the appointment of Abdul Kalam as President in 2002. Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister and the NDA was in power at the time. "He (Kalam) was made the President because the BJP wanted to garner Muslim votes," Khan said.

In 2004, A Q Khan was accused of supplying crucial secrets on nuclear weapons to foreign countries. He was dismissed from his job and was put under house arrest. However, Islamabad high court in 2009 declared him a free citizen of Pakistan.

For lakhs of Indians, Kalam embodied the new India story, born into a poor Muslim family in Tamil Nadu, he rose by sheer force of education to become a missile scientist, the "missile man of India" becoming chief scientific adviser to the Prime Minister, then secretary of the DRDO, and then President of India.

Kalam collapsed on July 27 at 6.30pm while delivering a lecture at IIM-Shillong and was declared dead soon after.

Sadly AQ Khan and APJ were never from the same race.

He was proud Tamilian (in race) and a Indian.

Simplicity was his hallmark!

Abdul Kalam: Simplicity was his hallmark - The Hindu

"Mr. Kalam met guards of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police at the gate and wondered why they had to brave the biting cold. He ordered heaters for the security cabins and adequate warm clothes for the guards. This was just one of the many instances that reflected the humane face of Mr. Kalam but never publicised, says his close aide and senior scientist V. Ponraj."

"His family never was part of his privileges. Only once did his family visit Delhi. They travelled in a sleeper class coach from Madurai and a government bus picked them up at the railway station. The family left after the three-day trip. The President’s secretariat was struck by the fact that Mr. Kalam asked the Chief Accounts Officer to prepare the bill for his family’s visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan and paid it."

“The President is entitled to many privileges. But he hardly enjoyed any ... when the presidential days came to an end, Mr. Kalam walked out with his two suitcases. His assets are the goodwill of the people and some books, nothing else,” Mr. Ponraj adds.

Now if someone says if families of Pakistani politician like Ministers , President, PM travelled in BUS, Pakistanis themselves would get cardiac attack . :lol:

When a billion people mourn the loss of one man, then the status of that single individual speaks for itself.

That's 1/7 the of the world mourning for one Individual - Dr . Abdul Kalam. I doubt that there is/was a single person who ever had this distinction.

Kalam's status is like sun light. His fame and popularity will keep on shining . If some decide to close their eyes and remain blind- the sun is not gonna stop shining
